Re: post from UK,
Had a package sent tracked and signed for from UK to Cyprus on 24 March.
Royal Mail showed it left UK Langley HWDC and it then disappeared. 18 May we chased it, to be told it's lost.
Then on 23 May, it showed as being sent a second time from Langley!
It reached Larnaca on 17 June and collected from the post office by the recipient this morning.
How it can be sent twice will forever be a mystery....

Re: post from UK,
My last three orders from Amazon UK were all lost in shipping, refunded but it is not as it should be, due of course to this virus outbreak,if your order from say Amazon is important to you then best to pay for the faster service UPS.

Re: post from UK,
Hi Jim,
how do you choose a faster delivery service like UPS with Amazon, I can never seem to find an alternative.
Thanks.

Re: post from UK,
There is usually a choice with Amazon to use 'Expedited Delivery' when you check out / go to pay..
Obviously at an extra charge

Re: post from UK,
Unfortunately not always now. A friend finally got his birthday card after nearly 4 weeks. It was posted at the main post office.

Re: post from UK,
Expedited delivery as Trev and MM says is a choice you have when you click to buy with Amazon..
Today in fact a parcel is waiting for me at the PO it will be an item I purchased with a normal UK Mail delivery service via our PO system, it is three months late, and it has been refunded weeks ago, now I have to send it back via the PO, Amazon normally pay for this, sometimes they just give it to you...
It is a very fast reliable system but makes your orders a tad expensive.

Re: post from UK,
Yes Lloyd as I did mention this virus outbreak is probably the reason for my missing and very late arrivals from Amazon UK and DE, I will not bother now and wait for these bad times to go, if ever.
Keep well .
Keep well .

Re: post from UK,
I agree with Lloyd , Amazon now no longer offer expedited delivery on some items .
One good service I found recently was placing an order on AliExpress , and an item was sent from China with DHL and arrived at my door within a week .

Update on my very late delivery of a kitchen unit cooker, Amazon UK said please keep the item and enjoy using it, it pays to be honest and I did ask them what I should do with it, great service caused by a problem not of their making..well done Amazon UK..

Re: post from UK,
Another option for buying goods is eBay , a lot of items offer express delivery to Cyprus , but their service is more expensive than Amazon , typically £18 .
I had an Item delivered this week , this time they used a firm called Kronos express , they seemed to struggle finding me in Kamares .

Re: post from UK,
To get back to the original subject, I see on track and trace that a package for me left the UK on 4 June and arrived at Larnaca on 26 June.
